Really? I understand not liking it, taste is personal and his movies are quirky to say the least... but not understanding the plot? were you on your phone all movie (my wife does this and then complains she got lost). I ask because the plot of pulp fiction could be written in half a page, the only thing complex about it is that it is shown async

My wife once asked if we could rewind two minutes, where I told her "Just this once. Will not happen next time you're on the phone during a movie". She never repeated it, but still has to look at her phone many times during movies.

In my experience, when people are on their phone throughout the movie, it's usually a sign that they find the movie incredibly boring. Some people simply don't like watching 2 hours of people talking.

I disagree... I have seen so many people, my wife included, not letting the phone down for a good 15-20 minutes after the movie starts, by then, they are already lost so the movie never had a chance

If you find a movie boring, stop it... why ruin it for yourself and all around you by being on the phone throughout the duration of the movie?
